Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday, friends! I'm still on my mission to bust through my stash, and as I was evaluating what I have left, it became very apparent that my aquas/teals are my most plentiful. I have a ton of prints in this color but also, when a friend was destashing, I ended up with a fat quarter bundle of solids as well. Since aqua/teal is one of my favorite colors, it seems like a logical choice to put them all together in a single-color quilt.
So, I pulled all those solids, and then paired each one with a coordinating print. Some are on the blue side, and some are more green, but I really think they all work well together. My plan is to make a bunch of two-fabric blocks with the fabric pairs. I haven't yet decided which block, but I'm leaning toward bowties. I think the final color wash effect will be really neat.
Last week's party had so many amazing project linked up, like this cute quilt from Maggie at Making a Lather-
This sweet low volume baby quilt is from Frederique' at Quilting Patchwork Applique'-
This scrappy explosion from Sandra at mmmquilts is so much fun!
And finally, I can't help but show this one from Anne-Marie at Stories From the Sewing Room. Anne-Marie was in my class with the Bloomington Quilter's Guild, and I just love her color choices for the Churn, Churn, Churn quilt-
Teal is one of my favourite colors. The shades and prints you picked out are lovely! Thanks so much for hosting.

I love teal/aqua/blue. It's going to be pretty. Thanks for sharing my Churn mini. :)
ReplyDeleteLove that color combo! Teal/aqua USED to be the most previlent color in my stash, but I've used up a lot of it! Now I'm struggling to come up with print pieces large enough to DO anything with. I need 5/8 yard of fabric for a quilt's setting triangles, and I have only three prints that are large enough! I see lots of scrap quilts in my future.
